I did something to mess up my display drivers and now when I try to start my computer, Me starts loading and them the display goes blank. I have tried to reload the video drivers with no luck. I have tried using the Me start floppy and looked at stuff in the C: drive but I really don't know what I'm looking for. I have also tried reloading Me and it goes through the install process but when it gets to the checking for hardware and loading drivers, the screen goes blank and I can't get any other video on the display. Any suggestions?

Are you able to boot into safe mode? To boot into safe mode, tap the F8 key when Windows is booting up. You should get a menu. Select Safe Mode and then press enter. Please post back.

Thanks for your reply but I was able to fix the problem today. I was able to boot into safe mode and then I deleted the display driver and then restarted Me. Me loaded a display driver included with Me and it started working fine after that. Again, thanks for your replay.
